It does!

And checking their references told me they were out to lunch, and perhaps had a few too many martinis.

It’s part of my ongoing fascination with academics wandering off cliffs and falling off the roof; all part of the wonderful world of crankery.

Maybe, I like to think it’s the wonderful world of money. That’s why I considered possibly cashing in on the “bloodline” fad, I got all the info, got all the character, got all the plot arcs, I just don’t like telling a story in that form.

Like you probably “see” with your minds eye when you are writing long form, I don’t. But if I am writing in a stage script form, I see what the actors are doing, I see the set, I see the lights, I see everything, and it’s all those things that become my motivation for the dialog.

In a sense, those factors are my “paragraphs” and my dialog is the story.
